Hello All, Some time ago, I posted about problems with logging in to my account. Each time, I had to receive either a code via email or text before I could log in which was a helluva faff. No one replied so I just perservered .
However for the past few days, the email option has disappeared and I am just left with the call to my landline.
This is infuriating and very inconvenient and I have really just stopped browsing Ebay now but I would be grateful if some Techie could help resolve the problem for me.
I do not have a mobile so cannot enable 2 step verification anyway and additionally cannot receive a text to a landline so I am really hampered.
My details are all up to date and verified, as is my browser and cache cleared, my device is "trusted" multiple times and I am the sole user.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Your kind words are taken on board. Now - depending on which browser you use - probably either Edge, Chrome, Firefox or possibly Safari, there will be settings which control if cookies are cleared when you have the browser set to remember history. This can affect the behaviour of the verification window. If you go to the page in your browser which shows your Cookie settings and press 'ctrl' and 'f12' this will copy the screen. Then reply to me and paste it in the text I'll have a look at it. If that's too much of a faff just tell me which browser you use.

Good Morning,
Thank you for your kind offer to help me.
Although you have explained carefully, I struggle a bit to really comprehend how to follow the instructions and am a bit wary of messing things up even more.
I have had to keep changing the browser from Opera, Duck Duck etc, in an effort to resolve the Verification issues. I am now on Chrome and running out of options.
Thank you for your patience.
